This PR adds support for identified and recursive structs. This includes: parsing,
printing, serializing, and deserializing such structs.
The following C struct:
C struct A { A* next; };
which is translated to the following MLIR code as:
mlir !spv.struct<A, (!spv.ptr<!spv.struct<A>, Generic>)>
would be represented in the SPIR-V module as:
spirv OpName %A "A" OpTypeForwardPointer %APtr Generic %A = OpTypeStruct %APtr %APtr = OpTypePointer Generic %A
In particular the following changes are included:
- SPIR-V structs can now be either identified or literal (i.e. non-identified).
- All structs now have their members surrounded by a ()-pair.
- For recursive references, (1) an OpTypeForwardPointer instruction is emitted before the OpTypeStruct instruction defining the recursive struct (2) an OpTypePointer instruction is emitted after the OpTypeStruct instruction which actually defines the recursive pointer to struct type.
